Abstract

The quality of goods, works and Services procured by Federal Government Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) in post-reform periods in Nigeria has been a topic of concern since the implementation of procurement reforms. This study examined the impact of quality compliance on procurement outcomes, including the factors affecting quality procurement, the challenges of enforcing compliance, the level of awareness and compliance, and the effectiveness of eProcurement. Data was collected using a 5-point Likert scale, and ANOVA was performed to identify any relationships between the variables. The results revealed that the factors affecting quality procurement had a significant impact, with a high F-ratio and probability, indicating that they play a crucial role in determining procurement outcomes. The challenges of enforcing quality compliance had a lower F-ratio and probability, suggesting that enforcement did not significantly impact compliance. The level of awareness and compliance had a moderate F-ratio and probability, indicating the need for further collaboration between different stakeholders to enhance compliance. The effectiveness of eProcurement also had a moderate F-ratio and probability, which suggests that more attention should be given to the optimization of eProcurement systems to improve procurement outcomes. The impact of quality compliance as an independent variable showed that it significantly affects the procurement of goods, services, and works, indicating the importance of prioritizing compliance in procurement reforms. Overall, these findings highlight the need for continuous monitoring and improvement of procurement processes in Nigeria’s MDAs to ensure quality outcomes and compliance.
